Thirty years beyond their prime
With memories of road shows
From the Golden Age of Swing-time

Leans forward on his stool
And though they've all seen better days
They've got that air of faded cool

They went to Lords yesterday, but normal net practice on the soaked grass was out of the question. In England’s bleak spring, sweaters remain the order of the day.
Four times a gang blasted a safe with gelignite, but no one reported the explosions. The gang got away with £50,000. Police believe that they may be amateurs, and injured, because they used too much gelignite.
